What happens if you look and see yourself (while being lucid of course) in a mirror? Does your mirror-image follow your moves just like in real life, or can this be a trigger to discover that you're dreaming?

the mirror is a great way to get me lucid! When I look in a mirror, I see some strange things. Usually it's like if the mirror was not perfectly flat: when I move my hand or my face, the image distorts. Sometimes my face appears to be dead or paralysed, or with a nasty evil look. Once I saw that I had a white goblin head with horns and warts and aweful thing. When you look in a mirror, you may see a totally different person, or you hair died in a weird color. It may follow your movements, or it may have a mind of it's own. So pay attention when looking in the mirror.

Mirrors are great in dreams and have often made me lucid.
I look different in a dream mirror (more hair mainly!). One thing I have noticed sometimes which amuses me at the time is a kind of delay in the movement of my reflection. For instance if I make a face in a dream mirror it can take my reflection up to a second to respond with the same face. I guess this is down to my brain working overtime to duplicate the information, but it can be quite funny.

In lucid dreams, very funny things happen when I'm looking in a mirror. Sometimes, my reflect doesn't look like me, it's blond-haired, or it plays at making faces. Or I don't see a reflect, but something different happen in the mirror. Once, there was a gorilla into the mirror, and it tried to pass through the glass to enter my dream world.

Whenever I look in the mirror in a dream, my image always corresponds to me exactly. It hardly ever resembles myself in real life, but this is because in the dream I don't resemble myself in real life appearance-wise, so this is how the mirror reflects it. Either that, or I'm wearing outrageous punk outfits, etc.

Does anyone here know the actual logic of lucid dreaming? Like why can we jump throug a mirror, or why does our hand get distorted? I know it's a ll in our minds, but why does the mind allow us to not be able to turn off the light, for example?
